Cho Min-ho (Korean: 조민호, 4 January 1987 – 15 June 2022) was a South Korean professional ice hockey center. He played for Anyang Halla.[1]
Cho's pro career began nicely in 2009-10 as he scored 14 goals and added 30 assists for a total of 44 points in 36 games. Additionally to helping his team win the Asia League playoffs, making it the first time a non-Japanese team won the league's playoffs, Cho's solid display earned him the Young Man of the Year award in the Asia League, given to the league's top rookie[2].
Cho died from lung cancer in Seoul, on 15 June 2022, at the age of 35.[3][4]
